Rep Ilhan Omar's staffer calls anti-Semitism a right-wing force despite Dem being accused of bigotry
Fox News ^ | 3-30-19 | Lukas Mikelionis

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s communications director is now joining his boss in drawing swift criticism for online posts.

Jeremy Slevin, a top member of the Minnesota Democrat's staff, posted online this week that “anti-Semitism is a right-wing force,” despite the accusations of bigotry his boss has faced over some controversial comments.

Slevin's message came after the congresswoman attacked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his speech at the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) where he mentioned her and her comments, which some have deemed as anti-Semitic.

“Anti-Semitism is a right-wing force,” Slevin wrote multiple times, quoting Omar’s tweet that calls on her supporters to “confront hate and bigotry in all its forms.”

Slevin was immediately criticized on social media, with many pointing that anti-Semitism isn’t manifested only within one particular political leaning and could be found across the spectrum.

“If your first question when faced with evil is always ‘but is it right wing or left wing evil we wouldn't want the wrong side to look bad here?’ you just might have a brain morally rotted by politico-tribal warfare,” writer Nicholas Clairmont posted.

‏”This guy works for @IlhanMN. Note the implication of this (false, antisemitism spans the political spectrum) statement: @IlhanMN is not right-wing, so she can't be antisemitic. This is the sort of crap American Jews are going to deal with as the Dems lurch toward Corbynization,” George Mason University professor David Bernstein wrote, referring to Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party in the U.K.

Omar's aide, Jeremy Slevin ‏ @jeremyslevin Jeremy Slevin Retweeted Ilhan Omar Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-win. .....

Musta been hired for his intellect, communication skills, and his impeccable command of the English language.

REALITY CHECK: The stupid suck-up Slevin is reading from an outdated copy of
"The Muslim Playbook to Overthrow the US Government" that Omar brought with her to Congress.

The George Mason University professor brilliantly wrote:”This guy works for @IlhanMN.
The implication is: Omar has established herself as a leftist....not a right-winger.....so she can't possibly be anti-semitic.

Also raises the possibility she's a first-class fraud and has been lying about everything from the get-go.

Congressional Black Caucus Democrat Cong Jim Clyburn came to Omar’s defense on her anti-Semitism insisting:
"I've talked to her---she's feeling real pain b/c of her bgrnd." Clyburn said Omar "told him" she was born in Somalia,
and had to flee the country to escape Somali violence, and spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp
before coming to the US.....this according to Clyburn.

===========================================
Then why, as a frightened Somali given refuge in America, did she hurry back to Somalia to get her BIL a job?

================================

This creepy Somali Muslim woman in our Congress has a hidden agenda no one could ever imagine.Omar has world-wide terrorist connections.

BACKSTORY-- Just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota's state legislature,
Ilhan left her American refuge to travel to her homeland she says she "fled in fear".
She was with then-Pres Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a Somali favorite for re-election.
He reportedly invited her to appear beside him prior to the Somali election taking place.
That's the "frightened lady" pictured chit-chatting, setting up her foreign policy $$$$ Somali agenda.

No Longer "Fearful," elected US state rep Omar Endorsed Somalia’s New President. Four Days Later,
Omar's Brother-in-Law Had a Powerful Job in the Somali Administration. The US foreign aid is about to pour in.

What was the deal she made with the corrupt-ridden Somali govt? Are the violent Somalians she once fled,
privy to US security reports from Omar's current position on the Congressional Foreign Affair Committee?

You better believe it, guys.

==================================

A foray into foreign politics, should have disqualified her from getting US security clearance.
How did she get US security clearance in Congress? Did she falsify govt documents?

I don’t know the answers to your questions but I sure hope someone does and this woman becomes toast!!!! Not only in Congress but in OUR country - which is a term she uses but as far as I’m concerned, she’s not part of the country I was born into.

There is no doubt that Omar's brain is rotten to the core.

True.

As more and more evidence comes out about this shadowy foreign piece of garbage, it will become evident that she has a hidden agenda, possibly even a mission. She does not answer to America as a boss. Her loyalties lie elsewhere, and only a complete fool or a dummocrap (aren’t they synonyms?) could not see this. If I were a member of Congress, I’d be afraid to sit too close to her. Seriously. What if her ISIS/Hamas masters tell her it’s time to wear her “special” vest to Congress?

I wonder why the news was so quiet after her weekend in CA two weeks ago - her remarks at CAIR in Woodland Hills were reported but she went to Irvine the next day and I couldn’t find a thing about her speech there or even where it was held. People had to RSVP before the location was revealed. Who in their right mind would even want to attend? Well, none of those KIND are in their right mind anyway but you do bring up a good point of giving her plenty of room.

Why IS SHE SO QUIET all of a sudden?
